Character, space, and a garage that sets this property apart! This classic Perry home is filled with craftsmanship that is hard to replicate, featuring beautiful natural woodwork, built-ins, and oak columns. The main level offers a spacious living room and formal dining area, an eat-in kitchen with convenient main-floor laundry, a 3/4 bathroom with tile shower, and a versatile bonus room that works well as an office, den, playroom, or additional bedroom. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms with generous closet space along with a spacious bathroom. The unfinished dry basement provides plenty of additional storage and workspace. Outside, enjoy the covered patio, established yard, and additional storage shed. A standout feature is the 576 sq. ft. detached garage, featuring a tall, wide double overhead door ideal for larger vehicles, a workshop, hobbies, equipment, or extra storage. Conveniently located near parks, ball fields, and other community amenities, this home combines the charm and craftsmanship of an older home with the practical space today's buyers are looking for.
